When the whistle sounded, the brothers who had just returned to their respective barracks quickly ran out and gathered in a panic.
Everyone realized that they were going to be unlucky this time. The company commander who was still smiling after beating people to death did not come out. He didn't know how angry he was. Tomorrow was a big competition that related to the face of the entire division and the future of the company commander. However, a group of his brothers were...
It would be unpleasant to go to the company commander for causing trouble at this time. This time, even if you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin.
Everyone stood in the yard in fear, waiting for their unknown punishment.
An Yi came out under the gaze of more than two hundred pairs of frightened and guilty eyes. He was just like his usual rest time, with a good cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth and a calm expression on his face. But the more he acted like this, the more scared the brothers felt.
, so that timid people close their eyes in pain and resign themselves to fate.
An Yi glanced around in the middle and saw the skinny old Chang, who was at the end of the fourth row, with his head hanging down and trembling with fear. An Yi said hello kindly:
"Old Chang, why is your grandson shaking? Come to me."
Lao Chang was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. When the brothers saw this, they were all worried about him. Even Lu Xiong, who hit him, showed no trace of tolerance on his face.
Seeing Lao Chang limping with his right foot and tremblingly moving to a stop two meters in front of An Yi, the sound of his upper and lower teeth chatting together was clearly audible. Many brothers were already thinking about asking for a favor for Lao Chang and letting the company commander leave.
Just beat him and drive him away.
Seeing An Yi turn around and lift up the square stool that fell to the ground, the brothers' hearts jumped into their throats. Many brothers turned their heads and did not want to see the tragic scene of the stool hitting Lao Chang's head. Who knew that An Yi lifted the stool that had fallen to the ground?
Putting him between him and Lao Chang, he startled everyone by saying:
"Lao Chang, don't just stand there stupidly. Get ready to give me a haircut...Dong Yazi, go get the haircut tools...Why are you standing there? Why don't you go quickly?"
"oh……"
Dong Yazi came to his senses, quickly ran into his barracks, picked up the wooden box, carefully placed it beside An Yi and opened it gently.
An Yi took off his hat and handed it to Dong Yazi, turned to his boss and said in the same tone as usual: "Hurry up, after cutting my hair, I want to sleep for a while after washing my hair, so hurry up."
Lao Chang took half a step forward and suddenly burst into tears: "Company commander, let me go... I am a useless person, I don't deserve to stay here anymore..."
An Yi threw away the cigarette butt: "Okay then, tell me where you are going, and I will take you there. Your legs and feet are inconvenient."
Lao Chang was stunned for a moment, and then he squatted on the ground and cried non-stop. It was obvious that he was at the end of his rope and had nowhere to go.
An Yi bent down and grabbed the clippers, stood up and walked to Old Chang to help him up: "Old Chang, don't worry about saving face and suffering. I can't guarantee whether you can survive ten days if you go out like this. You can go
Where? In addition to the brothers who pity you and want to help you in this courtyard, who is willing to take a second look at you outside this courtyard? Yes, your legs are lame, but is your heart also lame?
?If you had the guts, why didn't you hang yourself earlier and instead endured till today? Isn't it just that you have hope in your heart when you see the brothers have a job and a bowl of food to eat? So I want to tell you, since you are here, you should be practical
To be honest, you should be grateful to the many brothers who took pity on you and tried so hard to hide it for you. Do you still remember what I said before recruiting you back on the dock... I don’t remember
?Okay, let me repeat what I said at that time: I dare to swear to the brothers who hang out with me that from today on, as long as I have food to eat, the brothers will not drink soup. Even if there is only soup left, I will make them
My brothers drink first, and I drink what’s left, and if I’m not left, I tighten my stomach! Right?”
Lao Chang started crying again. Many brothers couldn't help but shed tears when they thought about their yesterday and today. They all knew that their company commander did not lie.
For a moment, all the resentments in everyone's hearts disappeared, and their hearts were filled with guilt, sadness, and gratitude.
"No one can say that they have not made mistakes or lied. Just remember not to make them in the future. So many brothers are looking at you with worries in their eyes. Who will drive you away? I will not drive you away.
The brothers who have been recruited will not do so today and will not do so in the future, unless you have a better place to go, do you understand?"
An Yi grabbed Lao Chang's hand and put the clippers in his palm: "People are not born with the ability to cut hair. No matter how good a barber is, they can cut their heads one by one. You are just twenty-eight or nine years old now. You have
What can't you learn? As long as you work hard, you'll be able to do it. Okay, give me a haircut. It doesn't matter if you can't do it well. As long as you work hard, I won't blame you even if you chop off a piece of my head. When you become proficient, we three will do it.
Even all the brothers need you to help with haircuts and shaves. You will be our indispensable support staff for three years. Do you understand? Start!"
Lao Chang approached An Yi who was sitting down with tears in his eyes, biting his lips to control his trembling hands. An Yi motioned to the stunned Dong Yazi to light a cigarette for himself, took it and put it on his lips to enjoy it.
Laochang finally cut An Yi's beautiful hair into a dog-gnawed shape in a dozen clicks. Although a lot of An Yi's hair was caught and pulled out, An Yi grinned, but An Yi still remained.
Not a single cry was made.
After finally cutting it short safely, Lao Chang stopped with anxiety in his heart. An Yi asked Dong Yazi to hold a mirror and take a look at himself. After looking at it for a while, he laughed:
"You damn old Chang, isn't there any bleeding? You've made great progress! Haha... No, you still need to practice your skills. You made my head look like the terraced fields at the back of your mountain. Let me wait.
How can I go to see the teacher? Come on, I’ll take care of them all. The weather is so hot and unbearable. A bald head is more comfortable. It just so happens that I can’t get a woman, so I might as well become a monk!”
The brothers burst into laughter when they heard it, and were filled with emotion after laughing. Everyone just watched Lao Chang carefully remove all of An Yi's black hair, feeling indescribably moved and uncomfortable in their hearts.
An Yi touched his bald head and stood up. He laughed loudly and praised Lao Changli's bald head for his talent. He generously gave Lao Chang a good cigarette and lit it for him. Then he happily walked towards the faucet inside.
An Yi hadn't walked ten steps when Lu Xiong, who was looking ashamed, strode to the middle, pushed aside a brother who volunteered to be an experimental subject, let go of his loud voice like a broken gong and shouted:
"Old Chang, I couldn't forgive you just now, brother. If you are older than me, don't bear this grudge against me. Come on! Today you just gave me a slap in the face, and I admit it!"
After washing his hair, An Yi happily returned to the room to drink tea. Yin Jinan came in from outside and said excitedly: "Brother, we really have you. All the brothers have queued up to get Lao Chang a haircut. Hu Hu just jumped in and sat on it.
He even loudly ordered Chang to get a haircut similar to yours."
An Yi laughed loudly: "Don't worry now, right? These grandsons will definitely roar when they come on stage tomorrow. Everyone has endless energy, haha..."
